Episode 6
"I'm back... Is anyone here? I should call Mom..."
- Oh, hello?
“Mom, where are you?”
- Didn't you see the note? Mom, I came to the mart for a bit.
“Oh, really?”
- Yeah, but it looks like it'll be a little late, so if you're hungry, eat whatever you want with the card on the table.
"huh."

“Subin, are you feeling better now...?”
“Actually, I called you... I called you so that you would feel better.”
“I see... What about your aunt?”
“Matra.”
“Ah... If you have any worries, just tell me, I’ll listen to everything.”
"thank you..."
"no."
“I know you and Beomgyu are dating.”
"uh...?"
“I didn’t want to know either, but somehow I found out...”
“That’s right, I’m dating Beomgyu...”
“The reason I avoided you for a moment today, and the reason I cried for a moment... is because of that...”
“Did you do that because you thought it would go away?”
“That too...”
“Soobin, just because I’m dating Beomgyu, there’s no way we’ll grow apart.”
"really?"
"huh."
“That’s fortunate...”
“Do you need more time to gather your thoughts?”
“I think I might need a little bit...”
“Then I’ll go now, so contact me when you’ve made up your mind.”
“Yeah, thank you so much...”
“No, I hope you get better soon.”
"huh."
Yeoju leaves, and now only Subin remains.
“I wanted to say I like you...”

The next day, to Yeoju, Subin's condition seemed to have improved significantly.
“Are you really feeling better?”
“Yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve bought candy, shall we?”
“It’s okay… No, I’ll buy it for you!”
“I’m fine...”
“Come with me quickly!”
Subin tried to buy candy for Yeoju, but ended up getting it instead.
“It’s a new flavor, so I’ll give it to you.”
“Just eat you...”
“I just need a cola.”
Subin and Yeoju laughed for a long time and went to school.
“Oh, do you want to go to our secret place during lunch today?”
“Okay, if you’re going, let’s take Choi Beom-gyu too.”
“Beomgyu too?”
“Yeah, he’s your boyfriend.”
"okay."
It was lunchtime, and Soobin and Yeoju came to the secret place.
“When is Beomgyu coming?”
“Oh, he said he couldn’t come because of the Beomgyu club meeting.”
“Oh, really...?”
“Yeah, but why hasn’t anything changed here… It’s strange.”
“Is it because the principal doesn’t know?”
“Oh, right. Our principal doesn’t know this place, does he? Anyway, it’s so quiet here, it seems like a good place to clear your mind.”
“Yeah... well, this.”
"what's this?"
"gift."
“A gift all of a sudden...?”
“There’s something I couldn’t say yesterday.”
“What is it?”
“From now on, listen to your parents and don’t come to our house. They’re really worried.”
"Hey, you're giving me a gift just to say this? Don't worry, I'll listen to you from now on."
“Can I trust you?”
“You don’t trust me, so what did your friend do all this time? It’s a bit surprising.”
After laughing for a few more minutes, Subin and Yeoju headed to the classroom.
“What, why aren’t there any kids…?”
“Wow, this is our PE?”
“Oh, today was PE! Let’s go quickly.”
“Yeah... Please, PE teacher, come late...”
Fortunately, the gym teacher wasn't there when Soobin and Yeoju went to the playground.
“Wow... I’m so glad.”
"I know..."
“Where have you been?”
“Oh, I just came back from playing with Subin.”
"ah..."
"Okay, focus. Our performance evaluation has been postponed, so we won't be practicing this week."
“Wow~!!”
The children became noisy when the PE teacher said that they would not practice for the performance assessment.
“Be quiet, and I’ll give you the schedule.”
"yes!!"
"Today we'll play dodgeball, and from next time until the next, we'll have free time. The dodgeball teams will be divided into odd-numbered teams and even-numbered teams."
Beomgyu, Soobin, and Yeoju were all on the odd-numbered team. However, there was one even-numbered team targeting Yeoju. That was...
Baekro-na.
Rona ordered all the kids on the even-numbered teams to throw the ball to Yeoju, but Yeoju wasn't easily hit. She kept throwing the ball to Yeoju, who dodged, and until the ball finally ended up in Rona's hands. Rona laughed and threw the ball at Yeoju with all her might.
‘Ppa-‘
There was a loud noise, and the female protagonist was hit in the face and fell over.
“Hey... Hey lady!!”
Both the odd-numbered team children and the even-numbered team children were surprised.
“Whoever threw the ball hard now, come out!”
All the children looked at Rona, and Rona cautiously walked towards the teacher.
“One of you, take the friend who got hit to the infirmary.”
"yes."
Beomgyu took Yeoju to the infirmary, and only the gym teacher's voice could be heard in the playground.
***
“You’re really swollen… Did something happen?”
“I got hit by a ball while playing dodgeball...”
“Oh my, that must hurt a lot. Are you hurt anywhere else besides your cheek?”
“My ankles feel a little sore too...”
“First, I’ll apply some medicine and wrap it with a bandage. If it gets worse, go to the hospital.”
“Yes, goodbye.”
“Okay, take care.”
Beomgyu and Yeoju left the infirmary.
“If you’re really sick, would you like to rest here?”
“No, you can go.”
“Or do you want to get on?”
“I told you it’s okay...”
“If you’re sick, get up quickly.”
"thank you..."
Beomgyu carried Yeoju onto his back and carried her to the playground. Yeoju was embarrassed, but since she was injured, she accepted the situation and the chaotic gym class ended.
***
When the ceremony was over and we got home, Yeoju's swollen cheeks had gone down a lot.
“I’m back...”
“Yeah, nothing happened?”
“During gym class...”
“During gym class?”
“Oh... it’s nothing.”
“Sit down for a moment.”
"yes."
“Are you hiding something from your dad?”
“Are you hiding it...?”
“Anything is fine, just tell me.”
“I don’t know...”
“Then, since Beomgyu is your boyfriend, you know him well, right?”
“Huh? How...”
“How did you know?”
"yes..."
“I heard everything from my secretary.”
"ah..."
“Can you guess what I’m going to say?”
“...”
“Break up with Beomgyu within this week.”
